fine, cbs cut-off mark was 182, UNN's general cut-off mark was 160.
Microbiology 221 BCHem close to dat too *not up2 230, my brain doesn't hold quite alot these days*
what does it tell you?
Whereas UNN invited u that scored 160 2 come, odas who score 200 and above are stil battling 4 admission, and you think they love you? NO! They are only interested in ya mani. Wisen up! But if you can gamble, let them have it. I am not trying to discourage anyone here bt laying bare their moneytrap
Education › Re: Another Mass Failure Recorded As Neco Releases Results by mcdokwe(m): 5:34pm On Sep 25, 2011
[quote author=Dr.otunba link=topic=767106.msg9216750#msg9216750 date=1316965911]NECO releases results, records another mass failure
On September 23, 2011 · In News

Another mass failure has been recorded by students across the country in the just announced 2011 June/July Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) results.

Registrar, Chief Executive of the Council, (NECO) while announcing the results in Minna Friday, exonerated the Council from the poor outing of students nationwide, adding that structures that ensured that appropriate standards of excellence and transparency were maintained before, during and after the examinations were put in place.

A breakdown of the results shows that out of the 1,190,393 that registered for the English language, 1,160,049 actually sat for the examinations while only 2,119 or 0.18% came out with Distinction and 263,777 or 22.16% came out with Credit pass, 76,224 or 6.40% failed while there 51,312 malpractice or 4.31% was recorded.

In Mathematics, 1,190,365 registered for the subject while 1,156,561 sat for it with only 3,356 or 0.28% obtaining Distinction and 295,961 or 24.86% with credit, 7, 7,395 or 60.27% pass, 89,023 or 7.48% failed while 50,826 or 4.27% malpractice was recorded.

Core subjects like Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Further Mathematics also recorded mass failure with high degrees of malpractices also recorded.

I guess there are lots of questions that we in a quest to justify one view or the other fail to answer.
Are the governments doing anything at all to hype the students thirst for knowlegde or just making face saving pronouncements?
Do exam bodies monitor the levels as to which school curriculars are being implemented or just wait to fail and blame students?
Do we go to school because we can learn or have passion for learning or simply because tis the in-thing?

I am not saying that people wont be admitted through the shortfall, but have it in mind that the people who are more likely to be admitted are those who scored close to the initial cut-off mark,
I will make efforts to upload such cut-off marks*advertised courses*
take note. this however is not a guarantee

Education › Before You Pay Unn For That Advert Form! by mcdokwe(op): 11:40am On Sep 25, 2011
The university of Nigeria, Nsukka after recently releasing the primary list of those offered provisional admission, invited those who had yet to be offered admission into the school to pay for what is also known as supplementary admission.
A lot of people will now be blindfolded into paying for it, probably thinking that it is all that is required to gain admission this time around.
I have always tried to be plain and insured that people make informed choices concerning what i feel I know, towing this line therefore, I make good to say that UNN is out to exploit people, especially with the invitation of people who scored as low as 160. What they are more interested in is the money considering the slots/shortfall available

eobe:
Yes, Prof Miriam Ikejiani-Clark is unfortunately dead. The Vice Chancellor announced her death in a meeting in his Board room about 30 minutes ago. Until her death she was a Full Professor of Public Administration. UNN will miss her
no, she was prof. Of political science. Hers had been the most interactive class in the department. My class is of course the worst hit as we were looking 4ward 2 her taking us in our final year.

Politics › Letter To Mr Politician by mcdokwe(op): 11:29am On Sep 22, 2011
Hello
dear mr politician,
sorry that it has taken me this
long to write to you after your
victory(?) at the (s)elections, it is
just that I dont want to be one of
those who reap where they did
not sow. I did not vote for you
during the elections and am not
about to make any pretense
about that, I never believed in you,
when you made your promises, I
took them with a pinch of salt and
secretly wished you would prove
me wrong, but now i grieve that
my fears were not unfounded.
When I tried pointing out your
many ills, people called for my
head. Some now realise that i
have been right. Some sychopants
still sing your praises while you
blindly but yet proudly head to a
ditch of destruction. Do I blame
them? Of course they must do
something to earn bread even at
your own peril and sadly theirs
too. Did you not promise them
better welfare packages? But to
day you ask them to bid farewel
instead to the little they had. While
you
continually loot the treasury. The
temptation to join them is much,
here I am starving and wishing
that you will for goodness sake
change, if not for me, for those
who religiously stood by you. I'll
never have to beg you to allow me
take from what rightly belong to
me, I'll hold on with the
consolation that no matter how
consistently the thief steals, he will
neither take nor enjoy it more
than the owner. One day I will
take back what rightly belongs to
me and there's no need telling
where you would be then.
I know that what concerns you
most is the next elections and
how to retain your theiving
position at all cost, but be sure
that we (my friends and I) are
ready for you. My greatest pain
however is that some of them can
easily be bought over, from the
money you've been stealing and
then some tactical appointments,
some would then be singing
different and discordant tunes,
but we shall hold on still, we shall
fight on within the embrace of
civillity but I cannot say for how
long before we decide to throw
that away and fight crudely, It is
good you take note lest you claim
you are taken unawares.
Signed,
someone who could have been a
friend, Diebere

those who did not make it and have no chance of making it this year, you must probably think that you are of no use, maybe due to what people have said or made you feel. Listen, the problem is not you! We live in a society which place much premium on paper qualification, a society where needs are grand but means little, if vacancies were broad enough(as should be)you wouldn't be there crying now. Believe me, you are better than most people who have made it through, and you can still make it.
"Dont let college stop you," the are still a lot you can do to better your life, so dont just sit there brooding. Get up and get ready, I have seen your likes and know you are made of quality stuffs.

i know there are dreams you are bringing along, some i encourage you to keep alive for even if some are elusive, they will sure keep you close to the top.
But some illusions you must do away with, that of becoming popular and feared through cultism, that of using your body to get what you want, the dream of having as much girlfriends and boyfriends as you want, they will not help you
Education › How Did It Go With You? Stop And Listen by mcdokwe(op): 8:43pm On Sep 21, 2011
The Jamb and post ume hustle has finally come and gone, reality has indeed set in to some-the fact that it is not easy. Some have made their dreams, others are still hopeful while are others are on the verge of giving up completely. Amidst all this I dare to say, Stop and listen!
For those who have been able to pull through, I know you must be beating your chest right now and saying 'yeah, I am the best!' No doubt you are, but you are not about being the very first, you are just about threading the path which many across ages have long throdden. You well deserve all the celebrations and merriments on your behalf, because for sure it wasn't easy, were many not called and you happen to be the chosen few?
But I must tell you, your days of fantasy are over! Maybe you have not known, maybe your perception of university life is what you see on TV, Boyfriends, girlfriends, classy dressings, free lifestyles etc. Far from it! It is a life (as you will get to see) very different from that, one of struggles, disappointments from unexpected quarters, betrayals, a life very stressful. It is a place where the more you look the less you see, you think you have arrived? No, you are just about to embark on a journey

I've heard speculations purporting that the primary list of admitted candidates is out, but as it is am in school right now and there is nothing official yet to suggest same.
Note that UNN is a public institution and for anything of this nature to be real and effective, it must be published in atleast a national daily and announced over the radio *network* for all to duly informed.
Do not be misguided

Education › Your Views On Second Choice Candidacy by mcdokwe(op): 7:38am On Aug 23, 2011
I have noticed overtime, the level of discrimination against second choice candidates seeking admission into Nigerian universities, and it leaves me wondering if or not it should be scrapped.
Provisions are made for most prefferred institution and there is no way one can fill in more than one. Could the authorities do anything to stop this discrimination or should the institutions responsible come out clear that they are not interested in second choice candidates instead of subjecting them to all these even after spending hard earned money and risky journies?

What are your experiences as second choice candidates?
